Ukraine reported heavy damage in Kyiv after overnight Russian strikes killed at least six people and injured more than a dozen.

Emergency crews spent the morning clearing debris and checking weakened buildings across several districts.

In Sviatoshynskyi, a strike near a warehouse left four people dead.

In Dniprovskyi, a nine storey block caught fire and rescuers continued searching the upper floors for victims.

A tower in Pecherskyi was also hit before firefighters brought the blaze under control.

The attacks came as President Zelensky said recent talks in Switzerland had helped refine a possible peace plan, though much work remained. Local services warned that parts of Kyiv faced disruptions to heat and water while repairs were underway.
